Championship Carbonply Snare Drum

Pearl Championship CarbonPly drums bring power and innovation to the field of Marching Percussion, combining natural and synthetic shell materials for a new sonic experience. CarbonPly shells combine 6 plies of warm, resonant African Mahogany with surrounding single-plies of light-weight Carbon Fiber. The inner ply of Carbon Fiber adds crisp high frequencies into the mix with mahogany’s warm qualities, while the outermost ply of Carbon Fiber provides a strong, durable, and attractive finish - #301 Carbon Fiber Matte. The resulting drums bring a completely unique Marching Battery sound that sets new standards of projection and power for marching ensembles of all sizes.

Configuration

Carbon Ply Shell

CarbonPly FFX Snare Drum shells have a winning combination that is the most complete sound ever available on the field. A 6 ply African Mahogany shell, full of rich low frequencies, is wrapped with outer layers of a unique Carbon Fiber that provide intense volume and incredible attack. The time tested Mahogany and futuristic Carbon combine into a robust spectrum of frequencies that is totally unique--and totally unlike anything you have encountered.

The FFX Aluminum Frame supports an aluminum alloy edge ring, providing you with a top bearing edge that can take all of the pressure necessary for today’s high tension heads. 2 ply reinforcement rings and a 45 degree bottom bearing edge provide shell stability and shape integrity while focusing the drum’s maximum sensitivity and volume.

Superior Shell Technology

Pearl’s Superior Shell Technology utilizes a proprietary technique for achieving the ultimate air chamber. It begins with select woods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes, milled to precise thickness with overlapping scarf joint seams, for a perfect air-tight fit. The wood plies are saturated with Pearl’s proprietary “AcoustiGlue” that permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance. Finally, the plies are formed in high-temperature molds with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to produce perfect drum shells that exhibit superior tone, optimal resonance and extreme strength.

Championship Carbon Ply Shells

Championship CarbonPly Bass Shells bring an exciting new edge to the low frequencies that drive your corps. Pearl’s Superior Shell Technology is used to make a six ply shell out of maple, the drum industry’s premium for dynamic range, sensitivity, and unsurpassed projection. This Maple shell, already exceptionally strong and stabile, is then encapsulated by two layers of a unique Carbon Fiber wrap. Pearl’s 45 degree bearing edge maximizes the volume of these thunderous air chambers.

To compliment these shells, 2” wide, 6 ply, high gloss black maple hoops are secured by extra wide claws to provide evenly dispersed grip and consistent tuning. This new sonic combination provides the unique, next generation bass sound, all made possible by Pearl craftsmanship.
